"There is no reason for the characters to be anthropomorphic animals instead of humans."
Yes, there is. The reason is that that is what furries prefer and that is sufficient reason. If people can draw anthropomorphic characters for "no reason" other than that's what they prefer then they can write about anthropomorphic characters with the same justification.
Edit: This was meant to be on it's own. I'm pretty sure I did post it on it's own so I have no idea why it's attached to another comment now. :/
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
